The Global Times comes with another bilingual editorial, which claims that "unity and diversity are key to China's future just like the importance of water and air to one's survival".

Commenting on the "unity" shown across the country in support of Beijing's decision on Bo Xilai, the editorial says: "There are voices against solidarity. They think society can develop its own balance as it diversifies."

Other than Bo Xilai, many newspapers actually lead their coverage with a shooting in Los Angeles in which two Chinese students were killed.

China Daily says some 1,000 people attended a candlelight vigil held at the University of Southern California to mourn the victims, who were post-graduate students in electronic engineering at the university.

Guangzhou's Southern Metropolis Daily reports on comments from classmates of the deceased, saying the female victim chose to live in the "less safe" neighbourhood off campus in order to save money.

Shanghai Daily says Chinese students at the university were not deterred by the incident.

Papers such as the Shanghai Daily and Beijing Times also report on the Philippines' decision to pull out a navy ship from the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, amid a stand-off with Chinese vessels.

A front page commentary in the People's Daily Overseas Edition criticised "Western officials" for "creating discord" between China and other countries in the region "intentionally".
